Specimens examined. Nine, viz. five cotypes of species in the 

 Lej'clen and Berlin Museums, and four mounted speeimens with 

 BkuUs in the Leyden Museum, collected in Pulo Ai, Banda group, 

 by Hoodt (Jcntink, Cat. Syst. p. 149, sub Pt. l^jpomelanus, w, x, 

 y, z; Cat. Ost. p. 261, Pt. hypomelanus, f, g, h, i).

Cotypes in the Leyden and Berlin Museums. 



Pteropus jJd^^idus, Temminck ; 1825.- — Based on " six individus 

 d'&ge et de dimensions diffdrentcs," from the Banda Islands, four 

 of which (Temminck writes, I. s. c. p. 186) were kept in the 

 Leyden Museum. Of these, three specimens are now in the Leyden 

 collection, all mounted, viz. c? ad., skull separate, collected by 

 Keinwardt (Cat. ^yst. p. 141, Pt. cjriseus, a; Cat. Ost. p. 255, 

 Pt. f/riseiis, a), a very young individual, skull separate, same 

 collector (specimen h, skull b), and a 5 ad., skull in sitv., collected 

 by Forster (specimen c). Skull a is the original of Temminck'a 

 figures, pi. xv. figs. 8, 9. — Two specimens in the Berlin Museum, 

 2632 ( (5 ad.) and 4755 ( $ ad.), mounted, skulls separate, have the 

 original hand-written Leyden label, with the words " Pteropua 

 paUidus, Temra. Mon. ; Banda; Reis van Keinwardt " ; relabelled 

 by Peters (printed label) Pt. r/riseus Geoff., Pt. paUidus Temm., 

 with an asterisk after the latter name, indicating them as types. 

 They are undoubtedly cotypes of pallidus. Skull 4755 is the 

 original of the figures in ' Megachiroptera des Berliner Museums,' 

 pi. i. figs. 5, 5rt, 5 6 (" Pt. griseus " on plate). 



Remarks. — In skull and dentition Pt. paUidus is scarcely dis- 

 tinguishable from Pt. speciostis, mimt(s, and yriseus. From its 

 probably nearest relative, Pt. mimus (Celebes), it differs by the 

 colour of the underparts and somewhat smaller size, and from 

 Pt. griseus by its much darker colour above and below.
